Never Settle
Sometimes, no matter how hard we work to generate and demonstrate value, our employers either do not appreciate what we offer or do not reward us for it. If you are working for a company that does not acknowledge your contributions, facilitate or encourage promotions, or negotiate fair pay increases and benefits, you should probably move on.
One of the most significant challenges employers face right now is finding great talent. The best companies compete for top talent and reward their employees generously for sticking with them. Just as you shouldn’t settle for friends who don’t appreciate you and add value to your life, or a romantic partner who doesn’t respect and honor your needs, you should not settle for an employer who doesn’t value your work and reciprocate your efforts and investment.
You have a lot to offer, and you can find a great employer who will appreciate and reward you for your talents and contributions. Why waste time in a business relationship that doesn’t challenge and inspire you to grow when you could be creating enormous value and enjoying the benefits?

Carnival of Personal Finance #50
Welcome to the golden jubilee of the Carnival of Personal Finance: #50! Isn’t it exciting? Not to be outdone by Queen Elizabeth, I arranged to have the Blue Angels fly over New York City this past week to commemorate the occasion.
